JEOPARDY! Showing reruns from the 80's. Weird $75,000 money rule.

The money rule is that if a contestant wins over $75,000 (only 5 games back then) the network requires that the player donate anything over that mark to a charity of their choice.

Seems like contestants are much more knowledgable also.

The tournament of champion questions are really tough.
